Books
Books call to me from the shelves
Whispering my name
They comfort me when my own story
Is too much for me to handle
They murmur, "It's okay, it's okay"
They reach out, take me by the hand
Show me things incredible, impossible
They hold me tight and keep me safe
They race with me through the story
Until the story ends and they must let me go
I cry for them not to leave, but they smile gently
"It's okay," they whisper, "we'll still be here"
I am sad that the ride is over
But comforted by their words
Books are like gods
They may end, but they never die

Author's Comments
This was written for a creative writing project, I had to write a personification poem. I ended up writing three, one of which sucks and will be posted in my scraps. But the other two I think are pretty good.
This is the first of the three, where I personify books as something akin to a guardian angel. I dedicate this poem to all book-lovers and to anyone else who's ever considered books to be their sanctuary. |
